Determine whether the given event is independent or dependent. Then find the probability. There are 3 literature books, 4 geogra

phy books, and 3 science books on a shelf. If 3 books are chosen at random one after the other, what is the probability that a literature book, a geography book, and a science book are selected if replacement does not take place?

This is an independent event because picking on book at random has nothing to do with picking the next book at random. The probability is 1/7

Jared made 12 3/4 cups of snack mix for a party.His guests eat 2/3 of the mix.How manysnack mix did his guest eat?

Fantom [35]

Answer:

<h3>The number of snacks did Jared's guest eat is $12\frac{1}{12}$ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Jared made $12\frac{3}{4}$ cups of snack mix for a party.

Let x be the cups of snacks mix made by Jared.

Therefore $x=12\frac{3}{4}$

His guests eat $\frac{2}{3}$ of the mix.

Let y be the guest eated snacks mix

Therefore $y=\frac{2}{3}$

<h3>To find how many snack mix did his guest eat :</h3>

Let z be the number of snacks did Jared's guest eat

Therefore z=x-y

$z=12\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{3}$

$=\frac{51}{4}-\frac{2}{3}$

$=\frac{51(3)-2(4)}{4\times 3}$

$=\frac{153-8}{12}$

$=\frac{145}{12}$

$=12\frac{1}{12}$

Therefore $z=12\frac{1}{12}$

<h3>Therefore the number of snacks did Jared's guest eat is $12\frac{1}{12}$ </h3>

What is the standard form of 5x^2+5y^2-10x+20y-30=0

o-na [289]

$5x^2+5y^2-10x+20y-30=0$

We need to get the equation in square form

We apply completing the square method

$5x^2-10x+5y^2+20y-30=0$

Divide all the terms by 5

$x^2-2x+y^2+4y-6=0$

Group x terms and y terms separately

$(x^2-2x)+(y^2+4y)-6=0$

By completing the square method, we take half of coefficient of x and square it

$\frac{-2}{2} = -1$

square it $(-1)^2= 1$

Add 1 on both sides

$(x^2-2x+1)+(y^2+4y)-6=+1$

$\frac{4}{2} = 2$

square it $(2)^2= 4$

Add 4 on both sides

$(x^2-2x+1)+(y^2+4y+4)-6=0+1+4$

Add 6 on both sides

$(x^2-2x+1)+(y^2+4y+4)=6+1+4$

Now factor both parenthesis

$(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2=11$

The equation of the circle is $(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2=11$
